It's still quite wet, but we are finished with our #fhb nursery. Mark and Myron double checking seeding depth pictured here. #awp2018#plant19#kansaswheat
Leveled #sugarbeet piles yesterday! It’s important to reduce surface area & eliminate the valleys were snow can sit & cause the piles to not breathe.

Need a sugar fix? Look no further than the large tap root of Sugar Beet!
This 6 week old plant has a mass of fine roots emerging from the base of the tap root.

Day one of beet harvest at SARC is in the books! We should finish harvesting our #rhizoc nursery tomorrow. Do you think that #tsa will let me bring a sugarbeet in my carry on? Anyone?

#mtextpspp is headed to Billings to harvest Western Sugars Rhizoctonia nursery. Our goal is to find the best beets that stand up to #Rhizoc in Montana! #sugarbeet#harvest18
Friends— as I leave Montana, I will try to keep this feed updated until I can pass the “beet”. If you’re interested, you can follow my new account @KSUWheatDoc
Had the opportunity to speak this morning at the @MSUCollegeofAg Eastern Ag Research Annual Field Tour on the Spent Lime Trials I conducted in 2013 & continue to monitor. The results of these trials have only continued to show positive results for #sugarbeet growers.
It's been a big week of regional beet tours in Billings, MT. Folks from Minnesota, North Dakota, Idaho, Canada, and of course, MT! So glad everyone could participate and that we could show off our region! #montanastate#sugarbeets#WesternSugar#SidneySugars
Don't miss our annual Post Farm Field Day next Friday, July 13! Join #MontanaState for a day of wagon rides and program updates on how we're conducting research that directly benefits Montana agriculture. Lunch is on us. https://t.co/dWOHDoM9FD
